Bangladesh vs England, 2nd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Bangladesh and England are set to lock horns in the second game of the three-match T20I series on Sunday (March 12). The Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka will host the contest.
Bangladesh, led by Shakib Al Hasan, got off to a stupendous start in the series after winning the opening match by six wickets at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The hosts took the gamble of letting Rony Talukdar make a comeback after eight years and handing an international debut to Towhid Hridoy.
After being asked to chase down 157, the Tigers romped home with two overs to spare. Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was among the leading run-scorers in BPL 2023, won the Player of the Match award for scoring 51 runs off 30 balls with eight fours.
Shakib Al Hasan had an excellent day after he finished with impressive figures of 4-0-26-1 and scored an unbeaten 34 off 24 with six fours. Talukdar and Hridoy scored 21 and 24 respectively, but at a brisk pace. Hasan Mahmud was exceptional after he picked up two wickets for 26 runs.
England, on the other hand, would be a tad concerned about their middle-order batting. After Jos Buttler and Phil Salt laid the platform with a partnership of 80 runs for the opening wicket, but from there on, other batters struggled.
